Nanaimo RCMP are asking for anyone with information to come forward regarding multiple bus stop windows being shattered overnight on Wednesday, July 31st.
Police call it a “senseless act of wanton destruction” in which eight bus shelters were destroyed—causing thousands of dollars in damage.
According to police, Regional District of Nanaimo transit officials informed RCMP of the damage as they discovered the shattered glass at four of the bus shelters they own and maintain.
All of the shelters are located downtown. Those impacted are the bus exchange on Front Street, one on Norwell Drive on the east side of the Country Club Mall and two others situated next to Highway 19A near the Rutherford Road intersection.
“At this time, we have little to go on as no witnesses or suspects have been identified,” said R/Cst Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP.
“Currently, investigators are going to each location to determine if there are CCTV cameras that may have captured the events as they happened.”
Anyone with information on any of these incidents should contact Nanaimo RCMP at (250) 754-2345.
